A shipwreck that could have as much as $17 billion worth of gold, silver, and jewels was just found off the coast of Colombia. That's a mind boggling amount of wealth. The boat was a Spanish boat sunk by that British full of wealth the Spaniards had plundered from the Inca. Anyways now there...

Anyone here gone skiing in Patagonia? I'm heading there next month and thought it would be sweet to get some slushy late spring turns in somewhere. Info is pretty scarce, so maybe someone here has some insight. Also if anyone has any tips on car rentals in that area that'd be sweet (Chile or...

Today is election day. Go vote! Take a few minutes and review the candidates in your area and the parties they represent and go vote for whoever best represents your views. I hear a lot from young people these 3 reasons for not voting: 1- "it won't make a difference". But it WILL make a...

A topic I've always had strong feeling about. I can't stand people who waste perfectly good food. It just gets me really riled up. I just watched a clip by John Oliver on food waste and thought it's something everyone should watch since he does do a really good job of putting it in a way that's...
